Ikea used to make these really great GLADSAX frames for displaying records on the wall. Discontinued: GLADSAX – Vinyl Wall Display For a cleaner storage option, consider adding one of Ikea’s many finished storage boxes for a plush finished look. Equally, if you only need two compartments, simply incorporate the added shelf for handy storage of your vinyl accessories (cleaning equipment, record clamps, replacement styli, and more). If you’re wondering about the added shelf in the central compartment, you’ll be pleased to know the shelf is easily removed to allow for more record storage.

The record frame was a particularly popular option among our readers subsequently, I’ve also included a couple of alternative options as a replacement.

The beauty is, almost anything large enough to house vinyl records could become a potential storage option, you’ll just have to think outside the box a little (see what I did there) about how you finish the piece. (You can purchase these from specialist companies, and this simple modification can transform a piece of furniture). If you’re feeling creative, you could go one step further and replace the legs with modern hairpin-style versions. Once the internal shelves are removed, vinyl records easily slot inside.

For example, this mid-century style piece (pictured below) could make the perfect living-room showpiece with just a little modification.

If you feel like taking on a project, there’s a whole host of potential record storage options throughout IKEA’s portfolio.
